A 34-year-old fa­ther of five died af­ter his mo­tor­cy­cle slammed in­to con­crete bar­ri­ers along the high­way in La Brea on Mon­day night.

Ken­zie Blondell, a me­chan­ic of Charles Street, La Ro­maine, had been lim­ing with friends be­fore the crash. He was rid­ing his blue Suzu­ki 600 along the Vance Riv­er Ac­cess Road when the in­ci­dent oc­curred.

An eye­wit­ness said around 7:35 p.m., Blondell at­tempt­ed to over­take a Hon­da Civic to merge on­to the en­trance ramp to the Archibald De Leon High­way. He lost con­trol of the mo­tor­cy­cle and col­lid­ed with the con­crete bar­ri­ers.

An am­bu­lance took Blondell to the Point Fortin Hos­pi­tal, where doc­tors pro­nounced him dead at 8:42 p.m.

Po­lice towed the mo­tor­cy­cle to the La Brea Po­lice Sta­tion.
